Another big march in Washington to open this weekend. This time, on Friday, against abortion. Complete with arch abortion opponent Vice President Mike Pence, there with the crowd. Highest official ever to join. The week before, a mass of women for women’s rights, including abortion rights. This week, President Trump will name a Supreme Court nominee. Roe v. Wade is in the bullseye. This hour in our On Point 100-Day Spotlight, abortion and abortion rights, front and center in Washington. — Tom Ashbrook

From Tom’s Reading List

POLITICO: Anti-abortion marchers celebrate a new era under Trump — "The March for Life, as it’s known, has kicked off on the National Mall every year since 1974 to mark the Jan. 22 anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision establishing abortion rights. With Vice President Mike Pence and Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway headlining this year’s event, anti-abortion activists have plenty to celebrate."

New York Times Magazine: Whittling Away Abortion Access -- "At the moment, a ban on abortion at six weeks remains clearly unconstitutional, as it has been for 43 years, ever since the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade in 1973. One other state — North Dakota — enacted a six-week abortion ban three years ago to test the boundaries of Roe, but that law was struck down in court."
